7.5 Using the lifts with support stands
To prevent serious injury or death from a falling
vehicle, never put any part of your body under a
vehicle supported by lift system unless the lifts have
the load retention pins properly inserted to pin the lifts
as stands.
To prevent serious injury or death from a falling
vehicle, operate
both air control levers at the same
time and keep the vehicle level as it is lowered.
Vehicles that are not supported evenly may shift and
fall. To avoid serious injury or death by crushing,
make sure that the stands used are the same height,
and that they are positioned at the manufacturer’s
recommended locations the same distance from the
lifts on each side of the vehicle.
Transferring a load to support stands
After the vehicle has been raised (following instructions
under the “Raising a vehicle” section) and the wheel lifts
have been pinned as stands (“Pinning the lifts as stands”
section) you can transfer the vehicle to support stands
and remove the wheel lifts, if you choose.
1. Select stands of the same height for each side of the
vehicle. Make sure the stands are capable of
supporting the weight of the vehicle.
2. Identify appropriate manufacturer recommended
locations, suitable for supporting the vehicle on stands,
an equal distance from the lifts on each side of the
vehicle.
3. Clear the work area under the vehicle of all personnel,
then place the stands at the appropriate locations on
each side of the vehicle.
4. Remove the load retention pins and lower the vehicle
down onto the support stands (if the load retention
pins will not pull out easily, raise the vehicle just
enough to free the load retention pins). Make sure the
vehicle comes down evenly on the stands.
5.
When the vehicle is securely supported by the
support stands, lower the lifts to their lowest position
so the downstop pawls are automatically reset.
CAUTION - The downstop pawls will not automatically
reset until lift has been fully lowered. If lift is used
without being lowered completely first, you must
manually reset downstop pawls by pulling the downstop
release handle toward you on each of the lifts.
6. Disconnect the air hoses and coil them on the air
hose holders on the back of each lift. Pull the lifts
away from the work area
.
Removing support stands
1. Move the lifts into place at opposite ends of the axle
to be lowered and position them so the lift pads will
cradle the tires when contact is made.
2. Carefully follow steps 7-10 under “Preparing the lifts
and vehicle,” section.
3. To raise the lifts, pull up on both air control levers at
the same time. Operate the air control levers so both
of the lift pads contact the tires at the same time.
4. Visually confirm that both lift pads have securely
engaged the tires, and that the lift table tube of each
lift contacts the side of the tire.
5. Raise the vehicle off the support stands by lifting up
on both the air control levers at the same time. Be
sure to operate the air control levers so the vehicle
stays level.
6. Pin the lifts as stands, carefully following the
instructions in “Pinning the lifts as stands,” section.
7. Once the lifts have been pinned as stands, remove
the support stands from under the vehicle; then lower
the vehicle, following the instructions under “Lowering
a vehicle to the ground” section.
